Giving us a peek at the quirky cast of characters, fairy-tale (and nightmare-like) sets and the titillating tale of the children who aim to escape their murderous guardian, the man who is merely after their late parents’ fortune, the trailer shows us that “something strange is going on,” according to young Klaus Baudelaire. No doubt, kiddo. No doubt at all.

We can’t wait to check out these Unfortunate Events when they come to Netflix on January, Friday the 13th, 2017. Until then, watch the trailer for yourself, but be prepared for misfortune, despair and super creepy awesomeness.
